I wonder when this was filmed -- she looks different here. Obviously she thought she was going to get edited -- thus the various re-starts -- but I guess no one told her they were going for a one-take shot. She still seems uncomfortable on her show, so it's not surprising that she would be uncomfortable here. I've watched her show a few times and while I like her fine, the gimmick of the show is pretty annoying -- I don't want to SEE the viewers so damn much. Kill all those dumb video segments. Just take their questions, and for the love of GOD get rid of that co-host. He'll make you want to shoot your TV.

Her show is far from my favorite but I still DVR it when she's making something that sounds interesting. Her food looks good and she's adorable. Her show seems to be geared towards a 20-something audience who are novice cooks and I think it's cool that the FN is trying to reach out to that demographic..though I'm 23 and enjoy just about every FN star sans Sandra Lee. I agree that she needs to lose her sidekick and just take questions rather than doing the video segments and phone calls.

Hollywood and TV studios are still wrangling with the issue of Internet-based content. There are a number of cable channels that view Internet-broadcast stuff as promotional stuff, and thus the stars, producers, and staff (as per their contracts) are obligated to do it.

If I were the editor, I know I'd be spending time on what I get paid to do, not this unpaid drek.

Aida is very very very cute and her show is fine, especially considering it actually features information and cooking. There are much worse things to complain about on that network. Oh, and she is also adorable.
